Hulu CEO Mike Hopkins is leaving to become Sony Pictures TV chairman, opening the door for Hulu board member Randy Freer to run the streaming service.
Hopkins, who has been atop Hulu since 2013, will take Steve Mosko’s old, vacant gig. Mosko left Sony last year after two dozen years with the company.
Freer, who will soon run things at Hulu from Los Angeles, was president and chief operating officer of Fox Networks Group for the past four years. He ran Fox Sports Media Group before FNG.
At Sony, Hopkins will oversee all television production, distribution and marketing operations globally for the studio, as well as SPE’s media networks business, per the company.
